TF2: 101 Facts You (Maybe) Didn't Know!

[@Casperr]

Honestly, how many of these did you know before today? 😅 And what's your favourite random TF2 fact of all time? It doesn't have to be from this video, share the gift of a TF2 knowledge with us all! This video is two things: firstly, it's a celebration of a *decade of doing KZbin!* On 24 May 2014 I released “5 Things You (Maybe) Didn’t Know About Spy” - my first video with voice over and the point where I decided to “do KZbin” with any sort of conscious effort. And now, 10 years later, I am _still_ doing KZbin in part thanks to what I learned and experienced making and releasing that now ancient listicle. So this video is as much a callback to that seminal release as it is a “greatest hits” of the many of the cool things that have featured on the Casperr channel over all these years! Secondly, this video is the bookend for the current era of Casperr. I’m going to spend some time working on multiple videos simultaneously - an intentional effort to craft a “season” of content with a common theme and style between all the videos - so when I eventually return it will be a sort of “soft relaunch” for the channel. Still very recognisably Casperr, but with a shiny new vibe that I am really excited about creating, and I hope that you will enjoy once it’s here! Until then, all I have left to say is thanks everyone for *a decade* of tuning in (Of course if Valve just so happen to launch a brand new free-to-play class-based shooter in the meantime then I may show up before all of that new stuff is ready, but we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it 🙂)

11:51 Just a small note here, we do actually know something about Miss Pauling's first name! Within the Fight Songs vinyl, there's a bunch of Polaroid-style photos of the mercs. One of the photos is signed "Photo: F. Pauling", which seems to suggest that Pauling's first name starts with an F. This, coupled with the fact that many of the photos depict all nine mercs, seems to also suggest that Miss Pauling was the one taking the pictures! TotePyro has an album on imgur which is full of pictures of the vinyl itself if you would like to see them for yourself.

[@wiggytommy8607]

15:37 The person in the middle of the photograph is implied to be Charles Darling. This can be determined due to the fact that he is related to Zephaniah Mann’s wife, whose maiden name is Darling.

[@Psyche_TH]

It's unlikely to be Charles Darling as the photograph is from too long ago compared to Darling in the time of the main comic series, and we have no indication that he had a life extension machine like Blutarch, Redmond, Gray and Helen do, although there's nothing to confirm that he doesn't have one either. The most likely scenario, as in the only one the wiki gives any weight to, is that it's an ancestor of Charles, perhaps Bette Mann's father.

[@frischfisch6217]

10:45 One of the reasons to disable auto reload is that it can block the Rescue Ranger from saving a building.

[@Psyche_TH]

The other two reasons are that scout's force-a-nature and soda popper completely waste the second shell if they're reloaded with ammo remaining, and that spy can only mimic his disguise's reload animation if he reloads himself, which can virtually never happen with auto-reload enabled as in most cases you'll reload while undisguised or still in the process of disguising. On spy there used to also be the reason that the revolver reload animation blocked your entire view for a split-second which made the ambassador awful to use with auto-reload, but this animation was eventually changed to a less obstructive one.

15:55 Looking and hearing about this picture for the first time, I have a theory that this mysterious unknown man in the middle might have something to do with the Administrator's old debt that she's been trying to settle using the Australium in the comics. I am surprised this was never mentioned before

[@thespringlock1794]

really nice video, just a few things I wanted to point out: 10: Also worth bringing up Team Fortress Classic in that (or Team Classic or whatever). I would also say that it kinda fucks with the whole RED and BLU thing to just have halves of the mercenaries from each game comprise a "team", which leads to whether or not there are 18 mercs or if there's just 9, especially considering how BLU (with the exception of Engie) just flat out disappears from existence after Gray takes over (or just 9 of the 18 if you go off of A Fate Worse Than Chess), like Miss Pauling doesn't even try to track down BLU team, and RED team is treated as THE Medic, or THE Sniper... or how some mercs remember things that only happened to their other team's counterpart, but whatever. Thinking about the "logic" of TF2's world hurts me brain. 28: Fifth if we include Team Fortress Invasion (since we are counting Brotherhood of Arms). 30: Ayyy ay wait, didn't you debunk that in your Admin video? Wouldn't she be ~120yrs with that logic (the genealogy/census records)? Like, even if you're talking about Elizabeth, the voice that announces to the mercs in-game is very much Helen (see: The Naked and the Dead). Oh yeah also are you ever gonna elaborate on the cliffhanger ya put in that video... or was that the joke? 45: Bro really just willed Scout out of existence lol. 61: We know that her first name starts with an "F" thanks to the Fight Songs vinyl case. But yeah, that's about it. I always assumed she was close to Scout in age, but that would mean that Administrator hired her for this job as a teenager, making all that abuse somehow even worse. 79: idk I still say it's an ancestor of Charles Darling (or even himself, idk). 83: It's worth noting that the Organ Needle neighbors a missile range built in 1941 (White Sands). Could this mean anything for Admin's painfully hollow mysterious plans and "old debt"? Probably not. 85: Probably to not set the community in (even more) flames. TF2 remains as the one thing that is still worth sending 2 guys over to sprinkle some fancy bug fixes and community-made content on every now and then. 100: I'm pretty sure it can be deduced that Arena's removal was due to the death mechanics being a nightmare for the casual queuing system and prompting more rage quits, worsening the problem (and arguably just shit in general for 12v12 but that's neither here nor there). Asteroid and Cactus Canyon were likely cases of Valve having no place for the Beta queue in casual and subsequently losing motivation. But yeah, no "official word". Sorry for the long comment. Can't wait for this new era of Casperr, and I wish you the best of luck with this path!

[@pancakeperson8905]

Pauling being a teenager when she was hired absolutely makes sense for TF2 lore.

@@pancakeperson8905 ik, it also explains the way she behaves and treats her job (see: Expiration Date, the Tough Break contract lines, her vision in The Naked and the Dead, etc.). it’s just not a pretty picture when ya think about it.

[@Psyche_TH]

My theory with regard to the teams and why one team seems to evaporate from existence in the comic timeline is that it's part of a continuity. The Gravel Wars used two teams, one for BLU and one for RED, and the lore mentions multiple times that these teams were evenly matched and caused a stalemate. Whether this is because neither team was able to kill the other, or because both companies had cloning technology (which explains respawns and multiple of the same class on the same team) that was too dangerous for Blutarch and Redmond to use on themselves, is up to you and is a small diversion within the theory that doesn't matter in the end. Either way, eventually nine of the 18 mercs do die for real (and the cloning technology is destroyed somehow) but only one of each class, with no two scouts, soldiers, pyros, etc surviving. The stalemate appears to be over. However, before either side gets a chance to totally eliminate the other, Gray assassinates Blutarch and Redmond which means the mercs are no longer hired so they stop fighting. Then is the MvM saga, and like we see in the first MvM trailer, the remainders of the two teams unite to fight the robots. They unify under RED uniform not out of allegiance to Redmond or his company but purely for logical combat purposes as the robots are all of metallic bluish colour so they're now red for contrast in order to spot each other as allies. They have no problem getting along and having the same team dynamic as they did with their dead comrades as the Gravel Wars were just business. This is the team that is always seen as being RED in the stories that appear to omit the existence of BLU team, or vice versa.

[@thespringlock1794]

@@Psyche_TH honestly i would be all for that theory, it’s just that, again, certain classes know (or are associated with) things that exclusively happened to their other-team counterpart, biggest example being the reference to A Smissmas Story in Unhappy Returns (former-BLU Scout retells a tale involving former+current-RED Soldier and Spy, when all three were BLU in that story). also, you’d think permanently losing half of the mercenary power of RED and BLU due to some freak accident would be what forces the Mann brothers into a truce, but nah, Gray tricks them both with fabricated letters. there’s also the consistency issue of *which* mercs from *which* team survived (A Fate Worse Than Chess, the MvM trailer, the Fight Songs cover, etc.), and the question of the same logic with TFC and the other past teams, but whatever. the way I see it, there is absolutely no in-universe explanation. the writers simply did not give a shit and wanted a whole story arc without having to keep track of two of each class (especially when TFC comes along), and so they just had one of each to represent each class.

[@Psyche_TH]

Lime or pink as hell?

[@komrade_gagarin]

The first major game with different classes was Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This game, wothout a strong community, but still, is alive.

[@Sangaroo]

Am I the only one who needed to watch this twice because he didn't pay attention properly the first time?

[@RealDarragh]

Did you have something else going on with this in the background?

[@Felix-Felix]

15:33 That game is about your vehicle transforming from a cart into a boat or a plane and so on. When you're driving a plane, it becomes spy. When you're driving a boat it becomes Heavy. And none of them use their original voice actors. 16:03 - Scout naturally is worth 2 players pushing it. Same for Soldier or Demo if they're holding the "Pain Train" melee weapon. These stats also work for control points too. 18:03 - In Russian accent, "Mikhail" is "Mirraeel". He also has a nickname from his sisters and mom as "Misha" 18:06 - There's a chance that Medic's second name is "Humboldt". On the map Rottenburg for mvm, we find a place that states a certain "Mr. Humboldt" sells baboon uteruses, the same that medic uses on the most recent comics.

[@redstonewarrior0152]

Mr. Humboldt may also be where the Medic sources his baboon uteruses from.

15:48 This guy we don't see could be someone we're supposed to see in the unreleased 8th comic.

[@XzyroKyxala]

Im surprised that the Love and War oneshot wasn't mentioned. I heard that it was made because, it was supposed to be a pilot for a Adult Swim series that never officially took off.

The Xbox 360 version of Tf2 has special features like no airblast and 6 grenade launcher rounds instead of 4, and you can combine the levels from half life and portal to make custom levels

[@LightsJusticeZ]

Technically incorrect. The X360 version has 4 pipes like PC but only if you keep it updated. Deleting any patches will revert it back to day 1 release with 6 pipes. The PS3 version on the other hand never received any updates so they'll always have 6 pipes.

[@Mikusch_]

2:06 this is completely wrong. Not only does the Deflector weapon not have its own stats (MvM applies it through an attribute), it also has visually distinct bullet tracers.

[@ehrenmaes7841]

The sentry beep fact shook me , never noticed with 4000+ hours

[@ricksmith1975]

12:20 Stock also means new or preferred loadout

[@Wokko_wok]

For fact 45 you forgot scout...

[@elaynadiedinside]

I like this video because even as someone who knows most things about TF2's development and the full lore there were still lots of things in this that I actually did not know prior

[@n3onYT-valk]

3:34 this also applies to crit canteens, which give it faster firing speed.

[@kara0211]

On the topic of #64, The Half Zatoichi is a reference to a series about a fully blind samurai. And the "Half" in the item name references demo's missing eye

[@wojtekpolska1013]

i knew all of those but the sentry beeps :) i knew that the beeps were different but didnt notice that it beeps one time for each level

[@ricksmith1975]

14:49 note: The fortress forever mod of tfc has a different sniper rifle design without the no-zoom headshot thing

[@happyraintf]

That's great quiz material..... And a fantastic video!

[@Mayo_Nayoo]

bro wasen't lying! he can pronounce that very long town name!

[@Awsome2464]

Out of all these facts, the one that blows my mind the most is the sentry guns' beeps indicating their level. I've sunk hundreds of hours into Engie and never picked up on that

[@boss-de-boss2012]

i have 5400 h in this game and i know 50+ of these, i deserve a medal

[@storms888]

Absolutely loved this video, super relaxing and interesting!

[@longerthanyouthink]

Fun fact: The team 'Vanguard' referenced at 1:42 was retconned to be called team 'Ajax', so that the team names would follow alphabetical order. The team names we know of are: Ajax, B(astion?), Citadel, D(ungeon?), Echelon, and, of course, Fortress

[@Jachii9]

ok this is gonna have nothing to do with the actual contents of the video, but when i got to the end, i thought i recognized the bg song's drum samples from the DAW i was using, and, lo and behold, i was right! The song was made using ableton live, and the drums are the "Four AM Kit" drum rack.

[@krypt1ccc739]

Extinguishing teammates with sydney sleeper blew my mind.
